Orange Line Train’s Loan Installments Have Increased to Rs. 25 Billion: Report

The budget documents have revealed a Rs. 6 billion increase in the yearly installments of the Orange Line train operating in Lahore. This is worrying as it will become increasingly difficult to operate in the backdrop of a struggling economy and sky-high fuel prices, with the increase in loan installments only adding fuel to the fire.

Jumping from a phenomenal Rs. 19 billion per year to Rs. 25 billion per year. Sustaining such a costly project has become a challenge for the PMLN government due to the currency devaluation and the issues highlighted earlier.

To put things in perspective, the total accumulated loans owed by Punjab Government have exceeded Rs. 10.27 trillion.

  • Lol, these mass transit services don’t need any subsidy, why do they subsidise these projects ?
    If the mass transit systems need to be run on subsidy then why is supreme Court kept ordering to run these projects ?
    If mass transit systems need limited labour, why do government give 3 times higher jobs to people who don’t even come to their duty for months ??
    If these projects need subsidy then why do government employees get so much subsidy in favour of petrol, cars, bikes, house rents, free houses, free guards, free security, free lifetime electricity, free food, each and every free thing, and getting salaries in lacs and millions, and getting pensions in lacs and millions, and getting world tours free for whole family, and what not ????
